Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover bury the hatchet

Kapil
Sharma and ‘Gutthi’ aka Sunil Grover have decided to end their differences by
not eating into the profits of each other’s show.

It
is a well known fact that ‘Gutthi’ was one of the most popular characters of
the show ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’. However, as the popularity of ‘Gutthi’
started increasing, Sunil who played ‘Gutthi’s’ character wanted an increase in
his fees. But the producer of the show, Kapil Sharma was not in a position to
revise his fees. As a result Sunil walked out of the show. After he moved out,
the show was negatively affected. The ratings went down. After that Kapil took
social networking site Twitter to express his feelings for Sunil and also requested
him to come back.

But
it was too late. The differences between them grew wider. In the meanwhile
Sunil planned to air a similar show like ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ on another
rival channel. It was also rumored that he was also planning to cast the popular
character ‘Gutthi’ on the new show. It was also said that the show was scheduled
to be aired at the same time as Kapil’s show is aired.

After
this Kapil Sharma, the producer of ‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ sent a legal
notice to Sunil. The notice said that ‘Gutthi’ is an intellectual property of
‘Comedy Nights With Kapil’ which cannot be copied by any other channel.

Soon
after, Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover also had a private talk following which
they decided that they would not telecast both the shows at the same time. Airing
both the shows at the same time would have simply meant eating into each
other’s profit.

The
daily quoted a source as saying, “Sunil has decided to not take on Comedy
Nights With Kapil. Though Sunil’s show would be formatted like Kapil’s show it
won’t be telecast at the same time.”

Sunil
Grover will be back on small screen in a new avatar. However, he has not
disclosed anything about his upcoming show. The channel on which he would
appear is also not disclosed. When Sunil was asked about his new avatar, he
just said, “It will surely be in the way people love me and want to see.”

He
was also asked if he was restricted from playing ‘Gutthi’ character. He said, “I
don’t want to comment on that. Let people say what they want to. I too have
references on the matter and will talk it out when the time comes. But still, I
am thankful and grateful to the platform (Comedy Nights with Kapil) for the
opportunity.”
